Executive Summary
look at DC and Casper for guide
completely re-work current
Table of Contents
I. Introduction
- background on Raleigh
- need for project
- background on our class
- time restraints, talk about how this was a pilot study
- they recommend 200 plots, standard errors vs. number of plots graph
- standard error...statistics
- discussion of problems/concerns with our data?
- implications of this report...what to do with it?
- calculate a per plot time avg
- total number tree counted
II. Tree characteristics of the urban forest
- more introductory style
- redo tree species comp pie graph (lisa/hannah)
- old field succession in raleigh
III. Urban forest cover and leaf area
- provide better explanation of importance value and percentages
- explanation of ground cover, why it's important
- impervious surfaces
IV. Air pollution removal by urban trees
-
V. Carbon storage and sequestration
VI. Trees and building energy use
explain units
explanation of negative effects of trees on heating (loss of dollars)
